Head of the class in e-CME:

June 5, 2009 - PRLog -- Shortly after the landmark launch of the EACCME accreditation process for e-learning programs lead by the European Union of Medical Specialists (UEMS) on April 6, 2009, MedEd Global Solutions was first in line to submit their application for accreditation of an educational e-module on the topic of Pediatric Respiratory Diseases. Now, less than two months later on June 2, 2009 MedEd Global Solutions has received official recognition from the UEMS that they are the first ever to be awarded EACCME accreditation for an e-learning program in Europe. The e-learning activity will be available shortly via the official UEMS website at www.uems.net.

After 11 years of delivering cutting-edge, high-quality educational activities in Europe and abroad, this achievement is truly a milestone in MedEd Global Solutions history. This accomplishment further cements MedEd Global Solutions’ position as pioneers in online medical education in Europe.

As times change and technologies continue to advance, MedEd Global Solutions recognizes the need to utilize the ever-growing selection of internet-based technologies available today and adapt its educational methodologies in order to provide the most learning-conducive and innovative initiatives. In applying this approach, they have been able to develop online specialist community educational platforms such as www.nataonline.com and www.irontherapy.org which stimulate learning through collaboration.
